Release Strategy

Hi,

I am facing a scenario in release strategy wherein there are 4 release codes. Now the requirement of the client is that out of these 4 if any 3 release the Purchase Requisition the Purchase requisition should get released.

While configuring the release i am facing the problem that out of these 4 codes the system is working only when I make one release code as mandatory in release prerequisite.

Please suggest what should be done in this case.

Thanks

Hi,

I think R1 to R4 is quite clear to you. Issue is in commitee of 4. I think you can set up 3 release codes and give it's authority for all 4 of the commitee members. So any of these 3 can do releases and PO is released. Here you can setup prerequisite easily as R5 fpor R6 and R6 for R7.

But you should setup a check in a BADI or user exit to ensure that any single user does not do all 3 releases.

If you need tracking on whi released, change document can show who released the PO with which release group.

If you need anymore clarification, let me know.

thanks,

Hi,

I think I have already explained it clearly. Please follow R1 to R4 with required prerequisites. I hope you do not have problem in this. R1 would be prerequisite for R2 and so on till R6 would be prerequisite for R7

Problem is how to configure rest 3 releases. 4 people can do 3 release and that too independent of each other.

Please create 3 release codes R5, T6, and R7 Give authority of of all these 3 release codes to all 4 users. and R7 would be the final release.

Because all 4 commitee members can do release and of the 3 releases R5, R6, R7. Your PO can be released after these 3 release done. What you need to confirgure it below.

Release codes R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and R7

Prerequisite

R1 for R2

R2 for R3

R3 for R4

R4 for R5

R5 for R6

R6 for R7

Authorizations, R1 to R4 should be given for initial 4 approvers one each.

R5 to R7 to all 4 committee members.

I think I can not explain it better.

thanks,

Sanjeev

Hi,

In release prerequisites don't TICK against any of release code.

Now in release statuses, put the PR final release indicator against row where you find atleast Three TICKS against four release codes. Try this and check if works.

Thanks a lot Rakesh for your promt reply.

Now I need help in another scenario which will come at the time of PO release. It will contain 8 release codes. Now there has to be release prerequisite in this scenario till R4. There are 8 release codes here R1 to R8. Now first R1 has to release then it should go to R2 this sequence should continue till R4 after R4 again the committee of 4 will come into picture wherein combination of any 3 from R5 to R8 can release the PO. Is this possible in standard SAP or should we go for enhancement.

Thanks
